Are they made of normal plastic or carbon fibre?

I've got a heavy scratch on one of them and I dont know how to repair it. Can it be painted over?

how bad are they? piccies?

if they are deep gouges (sp?) then body filler, sanding and painting is your answer

You treat filler as a standard piece of metal, minus the rust proofing. So, get it as smooth as a billiard table, then prime and topcoat in the usual manner!

And it's a LOT harder to get a good finish that it sounds... if in doubt, bodyshop it.
